Mike,
there are a couple of extra steps ...
ssh -X sunhost
# get a list of X auth info
$> xauth list
sunhost/unix:11 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 70f1a1a3f444272ae0fa5b388b0b3f49
sunhost/unix:10 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 1827878ae62fd34205dfef870c85bf6b
# check your display and extract the matching auth
$> echo $DISPLAY
localhost:10.0
$> xauth nextract - sunhost/unix:10
0100 000c 6c6e6c3930642d3030303261 0002 3130 0012 4d495 ...
# switch user to Oracle and set your display
ora> export DISPLAY=localhost:10.0
# add the auth info
ora> xauth nmerge - <CR>
# paste the long key from the nextract above and hit return (twice)
ora> xclock
# Success ! (hopefully).
Cheers,
Duncan.

Subject: RE: Xterm issues
Thanks for the emails
I was running the 'xhost +' before, just forgot to mention it.
This time I did use the ssh -X command from the xterm to go to the sun server.
Before I was using a separate ssh client to log into the Sun server. After
logging in I noticed a message that said an entry was added into the
/home/<username>/.Xauthority file. I ran xclock again and then it came up on
my laptop without any errors, I did not have to set my DISPLAY variable.
I then did a sudo into the oracle user on sun to kick off the installer. The
installer made me set DISPLAY. After starting the installer it eventually
through the error: Can't connect to X11 window server 'my IP address:0.0' as
the value of the DISPLAY variable. I could see the following with netstat -a
<sun server>.55671 <my PC>.6000 0 0 24820 0 SYN_SENT
Thanks for the help so far
